Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PPM/DITY move?
A Personally Procured Move (PPM, formerly DITY) lets you arrange your own military move and receive reimbursement — typically 95% of what the government would have paid a TSP carrier. If you move under the weight allowance, you can keep the difference as profit.
Which Florida military bases are covered by PCS moves?
Florida has major installations including MacDill AFB (Tampa), Patrick SFB (Melbourne), NAS Jacksonville, Eglin AFB (Pensacola), and others. Contact your installation's Transportation Office (TO) to initiate a PCS move — all government-arranged moves go through them.
Can I use a civilian moving company for a military PCS?
For government-arranged moves, you must use a USTRANSCOM-approved Transportation Service Provider (TSP). For PPM/DITY moves, you can hire any licensed carrier and submit your receipts for reimbursement.
